...and learn nothing? Thats how you get through life is it? Just never done it on anything post 1977.. something tells me procedures may have changed 30 years on. Not afraid to just give it a go but anything to make a job easier is worth asking about. I have no doubt you have the knowledge but no need to be so arrogant about it. Didnt know forums had a Dont know, don't ask, dont try policy

Changing plugs is heaps easy. If you need pictures you probably shouldn't be actually doing it.

a mate and this thread taught me to change the plugs in my rb,

everyones at a different point on a learning curve, you at one point didnt know how to either so no need to be a wank about it.

nevertheless i use bcpres-11 gapped at 1.1mm

works plenty fine for me and actually fixed a misfire issue so yeah, happy hunting!

When i removed the plastic cover covering the loom and plugs, the seal around the plastic cover was really brital and broke off, i assume its for sealing off any water intake so next question is has anybody had this same issues and how did you replace it. Also th metal peice that hold the ports for the coils to plug into was broken? Where the fourth screw belongs i dunno if its supposed to be like that or no? Also just thought id add that th plugs i removed were NGK R- PFR5G-11 a bit different i thought.

Cheers if anyone can help

Heres a pic of the metal part that is broken

yeh, the sides of my valleycover were really brittle the first time i changed my plugs, and broke off. Not an issue though, and as previously said, just dont go about pouring water over your engine lol.

Never took the metal bit out that held the coils:\ didn't even know there was one lol. Arent the coils just screwed down with 2 screws?

Also, as said, use a torque wrench to prevent threading lol. I slightly threaded one of mine, not causing any issues but really careful now when i change em (i still dont use a torque wrench oops)

torque settings for spark plugs in an alloy head should be no more than  23NM maximum, when brand new plug this will give proper crush gasket "squish" and ensure a good seal without damage to the plug or the head.

this torque setting doesn't seem like much but a preset plug tool can be purchased through specialist suppliers that sell to motorcycle mechanics and or speedway enthusiasts, i have a KINCHROME branded one for my 2 stroke race bikes and it has saved me a fortune in replacing cnc machined heads from being stripped when they are over $2500 per cylinder head and you have 4!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
